Re: Show us your favorite cosmetic outfit

This the look I settled on at level 50, and I think I will stick to it unless something remarkable comes along. I like having a constant appearance. It really throws me when I take a short cut through the Moors and I arrive wearing my actual gear. I don't recognise myself for a moment or two.

This all L50 Elven Knights armour, apart from the shoulders, dyed black.

Go to a free picture hosting site and upload the picture you want to post. I am currently using Image Chicken (http://www.imagechicken.com/). The name amuses me, they give me the posting options I want and unlike some sites like Photobucket I’ve yet to see one of my photos coming up as a red X because of heavy viewing traffic.

If using Image Chicken, click the brows button and brows to the photo you want to post. I usually drop my photo onto my desktop beforehand just to make it easy to find. Choose from their list of categories your photo falls into and then click upload.

The site will give you options to use a thumbnail image or a full image. They also give you the option to choose Myspace Code, Forum Code or AIM Link. For these forums choose Forum Code and either thumbnail or full image, your choice.

Then just copy the full string of code into your post. And if the internet gremlins haven’t taken a liking to you, your picture should show up like the one below.

No, I did not know that I am not as familiar with the lore as a lot of folks (I am also not finished reading the books yet). I just thought most (almost all) hobbits didn't wear shoes. I never see hobbit NPCs with shoes in the Shire, didn't see anything but barefoot hobbits in the movies, and what I've read so far doesn't make much mention of hobbits wearing shoes that I can recall.

I'd love to know the reason though. (BTW, my husband's reason is because he think it looks weird to have a guard in all heavy armor and no shoes).

PS- I must confess, for a while in Forochel I put boots on Jilla. It just seemed too cold to "not" have them (always took them off as soon as I left the area though).

Re: Show us your favorite cosmetic outfit

I prefer medium armour looks. It took some time to find a white outfit for my minnie that I liked. I put the level 21 medium armour on my champ at level 21 and never took it off. I think she looks like a wood elf.

The resolution on these is pretty bad - I'm on my laptop today, sorry. I may redo this later tonight.

Re: Show us your favorite cosmetic outfit

Couple of my favorites (posted previously in class forums)

Slynt was recreated from an old Ultima Online character of mine, Janus Slynt. (Name borrowed and slightly tweaked from George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.) Sort of a James Bond type character who worked as a spy for the Nu'Jelm sultanate. Dressed all in black and purple, wish I still had screenshots from back then. Everyone calls this a pirate outfit, I just say he's a well dressed gentleman! Robe is from the Michel Delving outfitter, hat from the gift boxes, boots are one of Radagast's Book 2 rewards. Turns out they dye real well.

Stumbled across the Elven hauberk from the Celondim outfitter early on and designed the whole outfit and color scheme around it. Man circlet, crafted 50's heavy shoulders (little miffed they poke up in book 8 now) and gloves dyed navy, Elven campaigner's boots dyed navy, radiant cloak. Combined with the white horse, best looking captain out there if I do say so myself!

Re: Show us your favorite cosmetic outfit

When I first saw the 'swanky' black-coloured outfits while beta testing MoM, I said to myself, "I gotta get one of those!", they are just quite simply teh .....

Where can you get this type of outfit from? I wish we had a sort of costume catalog or a really easy to use slide presentation tool for viewing the various outfits at the different vendors without having to click the mouse so much?

Until then, I guess this is a sort of next-best alternative - great idea OP!

I love this one too though - sweet 'normal' armour look! Where did you get it from?

I usually browse the armour categories on the AH for a while, looking for things that match! But here is the item list for those two outfits:

[armour]Footman's Armour[/armour]
[armour]Well-crafted Elven Leggings[/armour]
[armour]Berserker's Gauntlets[/armour] (if not a Champion, any black glove or gauntlet would probably do, but I like the gold highlights on these)
[armour]Boots of the Gloom-bane[/armour] (if not a Champion, try [armour]Herald's Boots[/armour] perhaps)
Plain Cloak (the one from the outfitter) or sometimes [armour]Cloak of the West-tower[/armour] if I'm feeling fancy.

I actually have a whole different outfit built around that cloak, but I wore it forever pre-MoM so it's stayed in my second cosmetic slot for a while:
It's the Westernesse medium legs and boots, with a Westernesse heavy chest piece.
